As these people were seized and brought into Fengtian Hall,
Lu Ben's face turned deathly pale.
To him,
this also declared one thing: his every move had seemingly been under the watch of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.
At this moment,
Jiang Yan, the Imperial Guard commander clad in a Flying Fish Robe, strode into Fengtian Hall.
"Reporting to Your Majesty."
"Reporting to the Crown Prince."
"By imperial command, all members of the Lü Family involved in the attempted rebellion have been apprehended."
"This includes Li Song, Commander of the Thousand Households of the Kyoto Army, and Liu Wei, Quartermaster Battalion Commander."
"All participants have been taken into custody. The entire Lü Family has also been arrested and thrown into the Heavenly Prison, awaiting Your Majesty's judgment," Jiang Yan reported loudly as he knelt.
As soon as those words fell,
every official at court stared at Jiang Yan and Lu Ben in shock.
"Lu Ben actually dared to be so bold? He even gathered troops to rebel?"
"Li Song, Commander of the Thousand Households of the Kyoto Army, seems to be related to the Lü Family by marriage."
"No wonder. He truly was audacious beyond measure, daring to commit treason to such an extent."
"A traitorous rebel..."
At this moment,
the court officials all looked at Lu Ben and began angrily berating him.
At this point,
there was no longer any need to argue over what had happened back then, because Lu Ben's entire scheme had failed.
Thinking of this,
Lu Ben, who had been kneeling in terror, forced himself to rise. Though his body swayed from fear, he still struggled to remain standing and glared fixedly at Zhu Yuanzhang before sweeping his gaze over Zhu Biao.
"Zhu Chongba."
"At this point,"
"I have nothing left to deny."
"That's right."
